Dir. Susanne Bier
In Danish with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

 

Aroview: Dialing-up the Dogme-95 credentials of its creators, this melodrama proffers a dangerous family triangle between a career soldier (Thomsen), his ravishing wife (Nielsen), and troublemaking brother (Kaas), sparked by his deployment to a troubled region of Afghanistan.

After being promptly declared killed in a helicopter crash, his surviving nearest and dearests themselves draw together in a gratifyingly unpredictable study of grief and healing - although there are several major twists waiting in the wings... If at times burdened with a surplus of cinematic cliche, the performances are fully committed. Scripted by Anders Thomas Jensen (WILBUR WANTS TO KILL HIMSELF).
